I’m a big fan of Unbound’s overall aesthetic and commend the team for taking a big risk. This is a huge win for the series and I never want to go back to 30. Both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S support 60 FPS, which not only means smoother gameplay but also quicker inputs. I was beginning to lose faith as NFS seemed to be the only racing franchise that wasn’t putting frame rates first. It’s so great to see Need for Speed running at 60 FPS on consoles. The opening area explores the tame streets and highways, though the world soon opens up to include mountain roads, muddy paths, and a test track. Unbound’s Lakeshore City is loosely based on Chicago and it’s a fine place to drive.
Don’t expect a particularly deep narrative here - I can see some players just outright ignoring cutscenes and dialogue - but it gets the job done.Īs with most open-world racing games, the true main character is the setting. When it comes to the story, there’s a strong Fast and Furious vibe, which works well enough to carry players from race to race, as they build up an arsenal of cars. Working your way through the ranks to obtain better, faster vehicles is a staple of Need For Speed, and Unbound is built on this template. It fits perfectly here and is a refreshing change of pace from games like Forza Horizon, which quickly give you the keys to the best cars.
It’s the classic “power reset” cliche, where players are given a taste of what max-level gameplay feels like before it’s quickly taken away. If you’re unhappy about that, you aren’t alone.In Unbound, the player-created character suffers a betrayal in the game’s Prologue, losing their awesome car and forcing them to work their way back up.
Until then, this gameplay trailer will have to do.Įarly access for Need for Speed Unbound starts tomorrow for owners of the Palace Edition, while everybody else has to wait until December 2. Once it’s finally downloaded and installed on your system, you’ll be able to dive into the new NFS world. Though it’s smaller than most AA/AAA games, those who have pre-ordered NFS Unbound can start to pre-order it now (Palace Edition) or on December 2 (everybody else). Hopefully Need for Speed Unbound’s 29.4 GB size is more an indication of its efficient compression, rather than a lack of high-quality assets. While some will suggest that the download size of a game directly reflects just how much content it offers, that isn’t always the case.
